Life is not always sunshine and rainbows. Life is full of uncertainties, ups and downs, difficulties, obstacles, possibilities and opportunities. The only thing one can do is to embrace the uncertainties and go with the flow.

Like the wind and mist that vanished into the grass, time sped by with a whoosh. Both in my personal and professional lives, I am really content. I am also fortunate to have a wonderful family. My romantic life is proceeding successfully despite being in secret and distance relationship.

My long vacation has been approved. I'm going to Busan to spend Christmas with my family. I'm occupied today getting gifts for everyone. I'm with Bom and Sara enjoying girly shopping date.

 I was completely absorbed in my shopping when all of a sudden I sensed that someone was observing me closely. I didn't notice anyone doing it when I looked around. We were constantly switching stores. I had a gut feeling that we were being followed. I advised my friends to take caution.

Bom recommended visiting a different store at the intersection. When we got there, we hid and waited for the thief rather than entering the store. We prepared ourselves when we heard footsteps after a little while. We all three started punching and kicking him as soon as he moved in front of us. After releasing himself, he fled. We laughed heartily and gave each other high fives.

I'm eating supper with Kwon's today. Since I won't be spending Christmas and New Year's with them, Dr. Dami organized this getogether. We gifted each other with present. I personnel knitted scarf for Ji which Dr. Dami will help me to keep it in his wardrobe.

 I had a very good time with Kwon’s. Everyone was missing him. I made the decision to return to the hospital after some time. I declined Dr. Min-joon's request to drop me. Instead I decided to take a bus.

I got down at the bus stop near the hospital. I was walking towards the hospital, when I notice  two mens after me, my initial assumption was that they might be patients or relatives of patients. However, as they got closer to me, I noticed one of them taking a knife out of his pocket. It dawned on me that they were more than just ordinary bandit or thief. I halt in my tracks and head in their direction. They got close to me.

"What are you trying to do? Why are you following me?”

"We don't want anything from you. You are very useful to us.”

"What?"

One guy reached out to grab me, but I took hold of his hand and kicked him. The other attempted to grab me by the throat. I turned him around. Fighting with them was uncomfortable and challenging for me because I was wearing a dress. I'm in need of help. Perhaps security will help me once I reach the hospital premises.  Two other men joined them a little while after that. It was night
